  1. In the name of saving time AND money....and swallowing my pride, I purchased a Rubbermade Roughneck 7x7 garden shed. As many of you know, my wife and I have been in our new home for less than a year and a shed has eluded us since the premature birth of our beautiful son. After much "reminding" I broke down and bought a stupid but nice looking shed to put my Wife's gardening supplies and pool stuff out of the way. The spot we chose is perfect, level, flat, slightly in the woods but easily accessible. This summer I took down a stupid pergola like structure that was over the deck. The wood sat in a pile all summer. Yesterday I bought the shed and some CDX. Though you can build this right on the ground, only a moron would. I digress. I cut all of the wood down to rough size with a chainsaw then brought it into the shop this morning which has remained unused ALL summer. I put this fifteenish year old PT 4x4 material to the amazing Kapex. Four7'6" lengths were what I determined. I finished the cuts and started laying out half laps with my nice square. It hit me, EVERY FU$&ing cut was off by about three degrees. I must've smacked my Kapex off of zero and NEVER checked the bevel and assumed it was square. F$&@ing putz move. Anyways, check your bevel. That super expensive miter saw is only as good as the moron using it. 👍💩

    Any chance you can put two more batteries in that gigantic plastic behemoth?
  3. Love those NWS tools. I've got a few and I use them as my primary wiring tools. Really good finish to them too.
  4. You can do scroll work which is very fine, intricate sawing. Blades break all the time though. I have my friend my Delta scroll saw, I used to get frustrated with mine.
  5. I won't dignify that with an answer. Plus apple intuitive changed it.
  6. We had a Home Quarters. Pretty cool store back in the 90s. I remember a buddy working police details for them in '99 when they were going out of business and selling everything really cheap.
  7. Ends up my brother lives in Spring Hill Brian. He was pretty laid back about the storm too, though he didn't jam over to HD 😕
  8. Good luck guys! We will be thinking of you.
  9. Hey guys, to our members recovering inTexas and the south west and to Florida for what is coming, I pray you all are well and be careful out there! I hope this blows into nothing and relief finds get moved over to Texas asap but seriously, thoughts and prayers for you all.
  10. Nah, not me bro. I will say that beast will rip lugs off no problem and it looks just like the Mac which they have been building along so this will be a real powerhouse for sure. I'm waiting to get this wrench, all wrenching shall wait....... https://youtu.be/V4UfAL9f74I
  11. When pray tell is this getting released?????
  12. I saw this topic earlier and thought eghhhh. But @Jronman brings up an excellent point. Having a minimum post count will help keep trolls at bay.

    If I didn't have that brushless 18v full size one I'd be all over it.
  17. I've quit my day job to become a radio personality. Clearly I have the face for it 🤘
  18. Got it. Love it. Loud as heck but a great, awesome, well built machine. I've had mine for four years and love it.
